Crate easy_regex
source · [−]Expand description
This crate implements another way of writing regualar expressions as if they are pseudocodes, they will be easier to understand and debug, especially the long ones.
To start writing a regex using this crate, there are several ways (see head_or_tail) of which
new and new_section are the common methods.
The new method takes an &str as input and makes a raw expression while
the new_section
method needs no input and basically creates an empty string to write the intented expressions by method chaining.
To take the prepared regex out of the chain, the last method will be get_regex
which outputs a Result including a regex of type Regex or an Error.
The get_regex will in fact use
the RegexBuilder::new
and RegexBuilder::build methods of
the regex crate.
